Avid Config Tab

For supported devices (DNT-192 expansion cards), the Device View also includes an Avid Config tab.

The Avid Config tab allows the configuration of the DNT-192 card, and displays relevant firmware and hardware version information.

The tab includes 3 sections:

  • Avid Dante Card Information: Displays information about card hardware and software versions
  • Avid Rack Status Information: Displays information about the rack status for the card
  • Avid Dante Card Control: Allows the configuration of various DNT-192 settings

Avid Dante Card Information

This section displays:

Application version

The version of the Dante application currently installed on the DNT-192 card.

FPGA Version

The version of the FPGA binary on the card.

Board Version

The hardware version of the card.

Avid Rack Status Information

This section displays:

Rack Sample Rate

The sample rate at which the rack is currently set to.

Rack Mute Status

The mute status of the rack.

Avid Dante card Control

This section allows high-level configuration of the DNT-192 card.

Card Configuration

In ‘Dante’ mode the card configuration is automatically set by the rack. In ‘Generic’ mode the configuration is manually selectable.

The Card Configuration option supports 3 values:

  • Input card: The card functions as a 16-channel input device
  • Output card: The card functions as a 16-channel output device
  • Input/Output card: The card functions as an 8-in + 8-out device
SRC

Sample Rate Conversion.

When enabled, the card will convert incoming (Rx) audio to the Rack Sample Rate (if required), and outgoing (Tx) audio to the sample rate of the receiving device on the Dante network (if required).

Note that SRC adds latency of roughly 1.3ms to the Dante subscription in each direction.

Card Identity
  • Dante: The card will identify itself as a Dante device to the host device rack, enabling Dante functionality on the host device. Required for Dante-enabled host equipment.
  • Generic: The card will identify itself as a generic digital audio interface (required for non-Dante host equipment).
